    These are the best tutorials in the world. I wish Elektron would go back to this style of advertising. The Octatrack and Analog four videos were phenomenal

      @@sneaks well right more like an introduction but still, best in the world in my opinion. This style of advertising and introduction to gear from Elektron was 100% the best aesthetic and one of the big things that pulled me towards Elektron as a company, now I own all 5 of the main Elektron boxes and I couldn’t be happier with them

    6 part mono sounds fatter and fuller than you might think, layering melodies with different sounds can give really amazing results, then you've gotta account for the fact that its a hand-built unit in steel and aluminium, an easy to use, very fast OS, stellar sound quality and amazing support from the manufacturer. Sure its pricey, but you get what you pay for!

    THIS IS A SERIOUS MACHINE!!!!!!!! DEAD SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!
    I've used youtube to help review MANY electronic instruments, and despite the Monomachine being one of the absolute best spacecrafts ever designed. "this guy" did a fantastic job demonstrating this advanced alien technology, developed by the superior lifeforms at Elektron!
    So please, give praise and thanks and save this space for legitimate comments, questions or concerns.

    I've owned a machinedrum for about 3 months. Just got a monomachine on Friday. I took it home and set it next to the machinedrum and gave them some 'alone time.' I walked back in the room and it smelled like oil.

      about a year later I had to sell that machinedrum to pay for (student loans) to get a diploma released, so I could get a work permit for Germany. 2 weeks before I finally had all arrangements to move to Germany, I saw an MD at a synth shop. I loaded the first snapshot, which on my unit I had intentionally saved as the default name so the next buyer wouldn't OCD factory reset it if they ever bought it from me. Turns out this MD had all my stuff on it; it was my original machinedrum. I bought it back (since I only sold it to temporarily cover some costs the months prior) and it's now sitting again back next to the monomachine and I use it regularly in a monomachine/md/virus trinity with a nice little mackie mixer. muchlove

    Jete245, you are correct that you are using monophonic synthesis but you can do so much with it. It fits in my kit quite well as a bassline synth. I often find myself using it for this as I don't usually use polyphonic bass. You can also reroute the signal into the Monomachine (MnM) to add Fx. I also use it as a simple sequencer for other sythn's. Think of this as being the best of class synth in its type. Very easy to use. I really think you are missing out.

    I still stand behind my critcism though, but like I said, it's a nice addition to my setup regardless.

    I totally agree with the whole monophonic issue, But just Hearing the SID emulation demo gets me lusting after this synth.

    @Jete246 The monophonic/polyphonic issue can largely be bypassed with a little bit of the Mono's Userwave function. Check out the video "Monomachine Superpoly" for more info.

    So if I understand correctly, the MM can only play 6 synth tracks or "parts" simultaneously and for that they have to be monophonic. You can make a track polyphonic, but it'll automatically take up all 6 notes and disable the other tracks?
    Seriously, for the price a MM costs, I find that extremely lacking. If it'd more tracks (atleast 8) and a polyphony of atleast 3 on every track, I'd get one instantly. Shame, because it sounds awesome.

  • @Jete246
    @Jete246 14 лет назад

    Well, I'm not debating it'll be a nice addition to my current setup, but for the pricetag, I feel it's missing certian key "features". I still desperately want one, absolutely, but the price-tag is what's holding me off. If it was half the price, I'd get it with joy. Or, if it had everything I mentioned in my earlier post, I'd already own one now. Ultimately, I might still get it, regardless. I don't know, the main thing I want it for is chords/pads. But, I need all six tracks and poly sounds...
